This place is the hometown of the Emperor, and everyone calls it "the country of the Chengyu family, with a strong military and unbreakable".
As one of the top overlords in the Wuyue area, the Chengjiu clan upholds an attitude of not causing trouble but not being afraid of it. They have lived here for many years. They even launched a counterattack and marched all the way north to the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
Other tribal alliances in the Baiyue area generally respect them. Of course, there is another important reason that makes their status very high. It is not only because of the clan of the Emperor Wanghuo clan, but the most important thing is that they understand
The technique of "surveying the sky and opening up the sea".
It is the survey and management of hydrological texture.
In this era of Shanhai, there are basically very few people who understand these things.
Originally, Chengjiu felt that apart from the people from the water conservancy department in the Central Plains, he was the strongest here. However, this view has been shattered in recent days.
When the people sent by Shiki Ashara arrived here, and when they came to ask about the art of "surveying the sky and opening up the sea", the people of the Chengjiu family were very proud, holding their heads high as if they had defeated a chicken in a fight. However, when those
When people told people about the strategies and ideas for water control, the people of the Chengjiu family immediately felt that something was wrong.
So, the great lord of the Chengjiu clan came here and asked the warriors sent by Shi Qianyuan who called themselves "the Gao Shi clan". They didn't know anything about it. When asked, they were frightened. The great lord was settling down so far away.
After the guests came, all the wizards and leaders in the Emperor's hometown were summoned for a big meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, the lord of the country told everyone straight to the point that some people had come from Shiqian in the distance to invite craftsmen from the Kingdom of Chengjiu to help them build water conservancy projects.
In return, they will exchange some water control ideas, grain, shell coins, and unknown agricultural and sideline products.
“What are agricultural and sideline products?”
Everyone was whispering to each other, and a wizard spoke up and asked: "Fu Qianyuan...but is it the Fu Qianyuan who brought the plow?"
The Great Lord nodded: "Yes, that's exactly the place."
Everyone was in a slight uproar. The appearance of the plow brought everyone into a good farming era. After the Wuyue people brought the plow back, the Chengjiu family naturally got this treasure. They marveled at the changes of the times. The plow
This kind of tool has greatly increased agricultural food production.
In addition to the method of composting and retting, of course, according to people in Wuyue, there seems to be a thing called a columbine in Fu Qianyuan, which is the real "high-end product".
In addition to plows and manure, there are also advanced ridge farming methods, and the method of alternating grain planting is refreshing. In recent years, advanced production technology has been continuously transmitted from the originally unknown south. The people of the Chengjiu family have been very active in recent years.
It can be said that Fu Qianyuan is really thunderous.
"Are you from Fu Qianyuan? I heard people from Wuyue said that the last time they went to conquer Sanmiao under the orders of Zhongyuan, they built a fortress and dam near Fu Qianyuan."
"Yeah, I seem to have heard about this."
However, the people in Chengjiu's country didn't pay too much attention at that time, and at the same time they were very disdainful. After all, their country was the only place in the world where large-scale water conservancy projects could be built. It was just a small southern, primitive and backward area. The people of Wuyue really
No knowledge.
At that time, people in the Chengjiu clan were thinking that these dams and fortresses were just series of earthen walls! After all, when the people of Wu and Yue were building big cities, they all needed to learn from the Chengjiu clan about their ability to survey the sky and open up the sea!
The supporting engineering facilities are not so easy to build! There is a huge measurement doorway here!
"I guess the people from Wu and Yue looked similar, so they thought they were the same as ours."
"This kind of thing is not easy to build. Without ten or even thirty years of surveying the sky and the sea, how can we know the direction of the earth's veins and water veins? If we build it hastily, the mountains and rivers will collapse, and many people will die.
"
"Shi Qianyuan, you probably just heard about our skills, but didn't learn the essence."
Most wizards and leaders think so. People in the Emperor's hometown are more or less arrogant...
After all, the tribes around the city-state are also descendants of the tribe led by the Emperor Wanghou clan. They have inherited technology for thousands of years and are even respectfully called "gods" by some of the surrounding tribes who do not understand hydrology and geology.
”, which of course makes them very proud.
The Great Lord waited until everyone had finished discussing and then said to the people here:
"In the country of the Chengjiu clan, the Chengjiu clan is the national clan. There are twelve tribes under it, collectively known as the Thirteen Heads of the Emperor's clan. We are all the descendants of the Emperor. We have the ability to control floods and open up the rivers and the sky.
, it was explored for us by generations of ancestors in ancient times with their blood and lives. It is normal for everyone to look down on other places except the Central Plains."
"However, after I talked with those soldiers who called themselves 'Gaoshishi' before, I found that in their mouths, although they are not as good as us in the construction and renovation of water conservancy facilities, they have mentioned it in many aspects.
There are some truths that I have never heard of or seen before, and I can tell from the conversation that they are not people who master the art of 'surveying the sky and opening up the sea'."
Non-professional people are so good, but what about the professional people across the street? Are they the same as the professional people here?
Neither the twelve patriarchs nor the twelve wizards spoke.
But they still had some dissatisfaction and doubts in their hearts.
"A few years ago, Shi Qianyuan had no movement at all. Who can believe that he suddenly became powerful?"
A tall wizard from a tribe spoke with a very aggressive tone.
The Great Lord said: "Maybe others are just accumulating?"
Many wizards and clan leaders started talking to each other. They understood what the Great Lord was thinking. Perhaps some time ago, or even several years ago, Shi Qianyuan maintained a state of "primitive ignorance" towards the outside world. Perhaps it was because of this.
They are accumulating strength and experimenting and practicing many things...
Now that those things have come to fruition, they have come to prominence, giving people a sense of "rapid progress."
"Everyone knows that if Shen Nong's era had not encouraged the cultivation of grains, many tribes in the world would not be able to gather because of insufficient food."
"Over eight hundred years of accumulation, there was another grain development in the Yellow Emperor's era, and we also benefited from it. Now the emergence of plows, I think it is inevitable..."
"Pile up the grains, select those with full grains every year, and continue to plant them. The next year's grains will be a little better than last year. If things go on like this, the amount of grains will continue to increase, and more and more people will be full."
..”
The Great Lord looked at the other twelve clans: "This water...the construction of this 'water conservancy project', they invited us sincerely, and what they promised must be no less good than plows, so we went
People, bringing things back can help us develop faster, which is a good thing."
"Then which tribe among you is willing to go to Shiqianyuan?"
